So I've recently taken delivery of a 1996 CR6G with quilted Maple top and back, Mahogany core and Bubinga fretboard. How does that compare to the two basses you've described?
Totally different woods. The fingerboard makes a big difference as well. I think you have to play another bass to compare. Like talking about taste and flavor now. The Finish type also changes the sound.
